I would install OpenSSH and get the free Windows client called Putty. You can remotely admin the server by using ssh to get in as your user identity and executing su to switch to the root user. This would be much more preferable to telnet which is all clear for anyone to just snoop to see what you are doing.

it worked, buddies.
For the records, another little problem solved with your help!
I would suggest you to take a look at openssh, just post if you have any problems cause with telnet your passwords go all the way like open text. Anybody running a packet sniffer in a router or network between your house and your office could manage to get your password. Now, I don't know how often this happens and how trivial it is for home users but........precautions can prevent security problems. Plus ssh (openssh) cause encryption which will make (I think) things go smoother. Hope this is a useful piece of advice, Raúl _______________________ Raul Gutierrez Segales oxford@campoalto.edu.py
